Education Background Check

Ensure candidates’ academic credentials are accurate and authentic. Justifacts confirms education details with educational institutions, delivering reliable results that help you reduce risk and make confident hiring decisions.

Education Verification

Academic achievements play a key role in many hiring decisions. Justifacts confirms degrees, diplomas, and enrollment details directly with schools and universities, providing clear, documented verification that supports accurate, compliant hiring.

Each education background check is completed using primary-source verification methods, including direct outreach to institutions and secure academic databases. Detailed documentation is provided to help support compliance requirements and reduce the risk of credential misrepresentation.

Educational background check services include:

  • Authentication of high school diplomas, GEDs, trade certificates, and degrees
  • Confirms the candidate’s dates of attendance and the type of degree earned, including major course of study
  • Transcripts may be purchased to further demonstrate the applicant’s level of performance

Accreditation & Academic Standards Verification

In addition to verifying the academic credentials of a candidate, Justifacts confirms the accreditation of all domestic educational institutions. The U.S. Department of Education recognizes agencies that have the authority to accredit public post-secondary institutions. Private post-secondary institutions may be accredited by agencies that, though not recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, may have established standards and curriculum that are at least as rigorous as those created by the U.S. Department of Education.

We make education verification simple, accurate, and efficient, combining trusted data sources with experienced specialists to help you hire with confidence.
